Whether it's biking, running, or any other activity, safety should be a pre-requisite. In my case, I was contemplating running another marathon. I ran one about 20-years ago. After getting up to about 10-miles, my back would be hurting. Long-story, short, I backed off the idea of running another marathon.

No doubt, for health, a marathon is not necessary. So, whatever activity you are involved with, be sure to do it safely.

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear this news. I had not heard that Dr. Stephen Covey had passed away. He was a brilliant man who made this world a better place. I agree with you that safety should be priority 1. So many people tell me they are training for marathons, working out twice a day, etc. Then when I ask them about safety or what shoes they are wearing, they seem to be caught off guard. Safety and meticulous preparation is so important.
